Brendan Duke: Who is flat racing's GOAT

Advertise won the Phoenix Stakes. Sergei Prokofiev pulled out of the form. The Hungerford Stake is the highlight this week. It's York next week so should have a few selections there. Tiger won golf tournament. Frankel made his debut on the same day as Tiger. It was eight years to the day that Frankely made debut. Timeform think he's the best horse of all time. Mr Burns is less than impressed. He once spent a nickel to watch Gentleman Jim Corbett fight an Eskimo fellow. This is something to write about. I've a blog to blog about it.

Racing's Unique Claim to Sporting Immortality

Only in racing are the best sent off to stud to produce new - or preferably better - versions of themselves. Roger Federer, say, will have fielded countless offers for his retirement years - but not that one. To watch magisterial Thoroughbreds race is privilege enough.

The Wrap: Ballarat Cup day

The Wrap: Ballarat Cup day

The big query around Ballarat Cup day was the weather, with the track improving back into the good range on race morning before a deluge struck, downgrading the surface to a soft 7. Jockeys were keen to get as far away from the inside fence as possible the later the day went on. Hypothetical landed some good bets in Race 1, making it four wins from…

A Classic Legacy, Part 2: Awesome Again, Ghostzapper and Frank Stronach

The encore to the 1998 Breeders' Cup Classic was Ghostzapper's 2004 performance. The 1998 Classic was said to be the greatest field ever assembled. Then the 2004 race was said to be the best. November 5, 2022, we saw Flightline win with a hand ride to an 8 1/2 victory and that race and Flightline were called the best. So, who is the BC Classic…

Even with all of the prestige he has brought to Australian racing with Takeover Target, Joe Janiak has never been an attention seeker, so it was no surprise then that you could have walked right past him without noticing his presence as he sat relaxing at a table, enjoying a quiet day out at the Sunshine Coast race-meeting earlier this week.

Baaeed is a cosy winner of the Group 1 Sussex Stakes It may still be too soon to compare Baaeed to Frankel but he did more than a passable impression when powering clear in the Sussex Stakes.

The day Shergar ran away with it and turned Derby into a procession

Before becoming part of folklore, or reduced to a shabby punchline, Shergar was one of the finest racehorses of the last half-century. A tragic mystery due to his kidnapping by the IRA in 1983, it can get overlooked how revulsion surrounding such a grotesque act was bound up in the impact the colt made on the wider public consciousness doing what…
